Always loved this song from the first time I played it as the B-side of my "Head Over Heels" 45 in 1985. Lyrically it sounds like something Roland wrote about his parents - kinduva precursor to "Woman In Chains" from the next TFF album, "The Seeds Of Love".

This song seems to be a bit unfinished or underdeveloped which probably has a lot to do with why it was relegated to the B-side of a single. Regardless, its unfinished quality is what gives it much of its charm. The abrupt-slash-premature ending was always a point of interest with me.
